Words cannot describe Jim Sanborn’s “A,A” sculpture on the University of Houston campus.

Well… perhaps they do.

Snippets from different novels, poems and prose displayed in various languages including Arabic, Russian, English and Chinese are projected across the nighttime face of the university’s M.D. Anderson library.

Sanborn, an American artist, is most famous for his “Kryptos” sculpture displayed at the C.I.A. headquarters in Virginia.
